1 Enoch (The Book of Enoch) Chapter LXXXVII
1Then I looked at that one of the four white men, who came forth first.
2He seized the first star which fell down from heaven.
3And, binding it hand and foot, he cast it into a valley; a valley narrow, deep, stupendous, and gloomy.
4Then one of them drew his sword, and gave it to the elephants, camels, and asses, who began to strike each other. And the whole earth shook on account of them.
5And when I looked in the vision, behold, one of those four angels, who came forth, hurled from heaven, collected together, and took all the great stars, whose form partly resembled that of horses; and binding them all hand and foot, cast them into the cavities of the earth.
